sched, net: Fixup busy_loop_us_clock()

The only valid use of preempt_enable_no_resched() is if the very next
line is schedule() or if we know preemption cannot actually be enabled
by that statement due to known more preempt_count 'refs'.

This busy_poll stuff looks to be completely and utterly broken,
sched_clock() can return utter garbage with interrupts enabled (rare
but still) and it can drift unbounded between CPUs.

This means that if you get preempted/migrated and your new CPU is
years behind on the previous CPU we get to busy spin for a _very_ long
time.

There is a _REASON_ sched_clock() warns about preemptability -
papering over it with a preempt_disable()/preempt_enable_no_resched()
is just terminal brain damage on so many levels.

Replace sched_clock() usage with local_clock() which has a bounded
drift between CPUs (<2 jiffies).

There is a further problem with the entire busy wait poll thing in
that the spin time is additive to the syscall timeout, not inclusive.
